Coming Up Next: Bicentennial and Tepoztlán

Tomorrow begins the Bicentennial Celebration, and I still haven't decided what I'm going to do. I was incapacitated the last couple of days, though.

On Sunday I had a terrible headache and stomachache, and in the night I was unable to sleep due to what some call "Moctezuma's Revenge." I missed work on Monday when I woke up with a more intense headache. It was worse when I was lying down, so I spent some time walking around my apartment trying to get the pain under control.

Last night I had an invitation to go to Wall Street Institute's Mexican Night, which I did because by the afternoon I was feeling somewhat better. The trip into the city, however, took a lot out of me. Because I hadn't been eating, I was weak, and by the time I got home (after taking the risk of eating two tacos there), I was sick again. This morning I decided to sleep in, but I think I won't get paid until Friday now, which is not good :S I'm hoping that they don't forget to pay me on that day.

Tomorrow, as I mentioned, begins the celebration, and I'm not sure what I'll do yet. I have a couple different ideas, but once I do whatever it is I do, I'll post pictures here. I'd like to go to the Palacio Nacional, but I don't really like the idea of facing the distinct possibility of death by trampling once I'm there. I'll probably play it safe and celebrate indoors with friends.

On Friday I'm heading to Cuernavaca, and then on Saturday with Nico to Tepoztlán, the "Pueblo Mágico." At least, that's the plan if they pay me on Friday. Once there, we'll check out the sites, and then we're going hiking. As I've mentioned before, anytime I'm with Nico it involves climbing something, and I'm nervous about the mix of altitude and extreme heights, but I'm ready to take on the challenge. I'll do my best to not let my fear of heights get to me, and maybe I'll even take a picture close to the edge. Keep your fingers crossed for me.

That's really all I've got on the agenda this week. Next week they're assigning me another group at school. So far I've only had three classes per day, but they told me they were "introducing me slowly" to my responsibilities. Let's hope that my sickness goes away before then for the fact that I don't want to shirk my responsibilities, and I want to be able to partake in all the good things this week has to offer.

That's all for now. I hope you all checked out my pictures on photobucket.com
